Cathepsin K plays a key role in bone resorption. We provide the first evidence that osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), a critical pro-resorptive cytokine, acutely stimulates the expression of cathepsin K in osteoclasts. We used in situ RT-PCR and real time quantitative RT-PCR to analyze cathepsin K gene expression. OPGL enhanced cathepsin K mRNA levels in mature osteoclasts isolated from rat neonatal long bones. OPGL together with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) also stimulated cathepsin K gene expression in monocytic cells and multinucleate osteoclasts in bone marrow cultures. Real time quantitative RT-FCR demonstrated high levels of cathepsin K mRNA in bone marrow cultures, paralleling the degree off osteoclastogenesis. We therefore suggest that OPGL enhances bone resorption, at least in part, by inducing cathepsin K gene expression. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
